I agree and all those old FPGA farms from early bitcoin days are making a killing

What we need is something that everyone can get easily instead of some limited item geared towards early FPGA bitcoin farms

I don't believe there are as many of these out there as we all thought there would be. I think many have been discarded or are no longer operational. The network hashrate has barely changed since FPGA code came out and you can't find used ones anywhere. I believe most people are still using GPU.

I noticed a significant jump in hash rate as soon as FPGAS came into the mix

Users with 50 x more hash power consistently

It was a valiant effort to make things more fair though, so I do applaud the effort.

I agree the hash-rate did level out and come back to regular levels, but if you look at the pools you will notice a consistent disproportionate amount of hash from a few users.

Many Lower hash rate users with higher power requirements dropped out to be replaced with the top FPGA miners thus increasing the disproportionate distribution.
